BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to archery bows.[.,.]. and.Iadd.,.Iaddend.and more particularly.Iadd., .Iaddend..[.that type of.]..Iadd.to a .Iaddend.bow having two limbs mounted on a central handle orriser .[.portion.]. with the handle .[.portion.]. containing agrip.[.,.]. and an arrow rest. More specifically the present inventionis directed to a specific construction of the .[.riser along with the.]..Iadd.handle and .Iaddend.accessory mounts.

2. Summary of the Prior-Art

Archery bows have existed for centuries. More recently the compoundarchery bow has become a favorite of hunters and target shooters. Such abow is exemplified in Allen U.S. Pat. No. 3,486,495.

A long-standing problem with archery bows .[.evolves.]. .Iadd.revolves.Iaddend.around the support of the arrow when the bow is drawn as wellas when the .[.bow.]. .Iadd.arrow .Iaddend.is released. A myriad ofarrow rests have been developed. Most of these, however, do not positionthe arrow far enough away from the bow handle .[.riser.]. to avoidinterference with the vanes as the rear portion of the arrow passes the.[.riser.]. .Iadd.handle.Iaddend.. This is due to the design of the.[.riser.]. .Iadd.handle.Iaddend..

In addition, in order to impart as much kinetic energy and speed to thearrow as possible, .[.they are.]. .Iadd.an arrow is .Iaddend.normallyquite long and drawn fully before release. .[.With hunting.]..Iadd.Hunting .Iaddend.arrows.[., particularly utilizing.]..Iadd.utilize .Iaddend.a broad head point .[.whether it has.]..Iadd.having .Iaddend.two blades, three blades, or four blades, .[.thesame.]. .Iadd.which .Iaddend.may interfere with the handle .[.riser,.].and.Iadd., .Iaddend.accordingly.Iadd., limit .Iaddend.the draw of thearrow .[.is limited.].. This requires a longer arrow when a broadhead isused.

In many situations, however, a shorter lighter arrow is desirable. Ifthe same amount of .[.force.]. .Iadd.energy .Iaddend.can be .[.spenton.]. .Iadd.transferred to .Iaddend.a shorter lighter arrow, .[.and.].it will .[.carry the same amount of kinetic energy, then depending uponthe increase in.]. .Iadd.have a greater .Iaddend.velocity.[., the.]..Iadd.and a flatter .Iaddend.trajectory .[.of the shorter lighter arrowwill be flatter.]. than that of .[.the.]. .Iadd.a .Iaddend.longerheavier arrow. .[.Particularly when.]. .Iadd.When .Iaddend.hunting,.[.and the.]. conditions are not .Iadd.as .Iaddend.ideal as .[.is.]. ona target range.[.,.]. .Iadd.and .Iaddend.the shorter lighter arrow withthe flatter trajectory gives the archer greater assurance of strikingthe target.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to .[.an archery bow.]. .Iadd.a.Iaddend.handle or riser.[.,.]. .Iadd.for an archery bow .Iaddend.inwhich the .[.riser is cut out sufficiently.]. .Iadd.handle has an offsetin the sight window .Iaddend.to permit a broad head arrowhead to passrearwardly of the hand grip section.[.,.]. and.Iadd., .Iaddend.uponrelease of the arrow, to avoid interference with the .[.riser.]..Iadd.handle .Iaddend.by both the broad head point as well as the vanesat the rear .[.portion.]. of the arrow. Provision is made .[.beneath.]..Iadd.in .Iaddend.the .[.riser sight window.]. offset .[.to mount.]..Iadd.for mounting .Iaddend.an arrow rest, which may interlock.[.into.]. .Iadd.with .Iaddend.a .[.cutout.]..Iadd.recess.Iaddend..[.,.]. and which .[.extends.]. .Iadd.is displaced.Iaddend.somewhat further .[.offset.]. .Iadd.from the centerline of thebow .Iaddend.in order to position .[.the.]. .Iadd.an .Iaddend.arrow onthe centerline of the bow so that it will behave as an arrow fired witha prior-art type .Iadd.of .Iaddend.bow handle .[.riser,.]. butaccommodating a shorter arrow with a broad head.[.,.]. and avoiding thefrictional and deflecting contact of the vanes with the riser. Vanedeflection may be a problem with any length arrow and any type of arrowhead used on a bow without the .[.sight window.]. offset feature as setforth in the present invention.

It, therefore, is a principal object of the present invention to providea bow handle .[.or riser.]. with .[.a cutout.]. .Iadd.an offset.Iaddend.so that overdraw with any broad head point can beachieved.[.,.]. and deflecting or frictional engagement of the vanes.Iadd.is avoided .Iaddend.when the arrow is released .[.is avoided.]..Bow handles may also be designed with the offset clearance the fulllength of the window. This induces a problem in that conventional sightsmay not work in such an environment. The sight pins in that instanceneed to be made longer.

Another and important related object of the present invention is toprovide a bow handle .[.or riser.]. with .[.a sight window.]. .Iadd.an.Iaddend.offset.[., but still.]. .Iadd.and .Iaddend.preserve thefeatures of a mounting bracket above the offset to permit securing suchaccessories as a bow sight, bow quiver, and arrow rest to the bowhandle.

Yet another object of the present invention is to achieve the advantagesof a bow handle .[.or riser with a cutout.]. .Iadd.having an offset.Iaddend.such as set forth above in a construction which is inherentlyno more expensive than the prior-art bow .[.handle risers.]..Iadd.handles.Iaddend..

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

.[.Turning now to.]. .Iadd.In .Iaddend.FIG. 1, .[.it will be seen thatan.]. archery bow 10 .[.is illustrated which.]. has .[.a.]. handle.[.riser.]. 11 .[.to which is.]. secured .[.an.]. .Iadd.to.Iaddend.upper limb 12.[.,.]. and lower limb 14. The .[.remoteportions.]. .Iadd.free ends .Iaddend.of the .[.limb.]. .Iadd.limbs.Iaddend.are joined by .[.a.]. bow string 15. In the present instance,.[.the.]. bow string 15 is shown .[.with its relationship.]..Iadd.connected .Iaddend.to .[.the.]. upper wheel 16 and .[.the.]. lowerwheel 18. This construction is what is often referred to in the archerytrade as a compound bow. The present invention, however, can be utilizedwith a non-compound bow since it is directed primarily to the handle.[.or riser section,.]. and .Iadd., .Iaddend.more specifically.Iadd., to.Iaddend.the sight window .[.portion.]. of .[.the.]. .Iadd.a.Iaddend.handle .[.section.]..

.[.The handle or riser.]. .Iadd.Handle .Iaddend.11 is provided at alower portion with .[.a.]. grip 20 which is normally slipped over thecasting of .[.the.]. handle 11.[.,.]. and is .[.that portion of the bowwhich is.]. grasped by the archer's hand. .[.The handle or riser .]..Iadd.Handle .Iaddend.11 has .[.an.]. upper limb mount 21.[.,.]. and.[.a.]. lower limb mount 22. .[.The bow.]. .Iadd.Bow .Iaddend.limbs 12,14 are secured to those mounts by various techniques.[.,.]. but normallythey are releasably secured for taking down the bow.Iadd.,.Iaddend..[.and.]. adjusting the draw weight, or replacing the limbs. Inshooting fashion, however, they are the equivalent to being permanentlysecured to the handle riser 11.

Accessories are common, particularly on hunting bows. As shown in FIG.1, .[.there is a.]. bow sight 24.[., an.]. .Iadd.and .Iaddend.arrow.Iadd.quiver 26 are attached .Iaddend.to .[.the.]. handle .[.or riser.].11 by means of .[.the bow quiver.]. bracket 28. .[.The sight.]..Iadd.Sight .Iaddend.is secured to .[.the.]. bow handle 11 by means of.[.the sight.]. bracket 29.

Central to .[.the archery.]. handle 11 is .[.the.]. sight window 30..[.The handle.]. .Iadd.Handle .Iaddend.11 has .Iadd.accessory mount area31 .Iaddend.at its upper portion .[.an accessory mount area 31.].. The.Iadd.window of .Iaddend.handle 11 terminates at its lower portion in.[.an overdraw offset.]. base 32 which is immediately above .[.the.].grip 20. That portion of .[.the.]. handle 11 which is on the arrow sideof .[.the sight.]. window 30 .[.of the handle or riser 11.]. is known as.[.the.]. sight window face 34. .[.Opposite the sight window face.]..Iadd.Face .Iaddend.34 is .[.a.]. .Iadd.displaced from .Iaddend.centerline 35 which lies in the plane of .[.the.]. bow string 15.

Shown in FIG. 2 is a typical prior-art handle 30PA. .[.It will be seenthat the center.]. .Iadd.Center .Iaddend.line 35PA is the same as thatof the illustrative invention. .[.The handle.]. .Iadd.Handle.Iaddend.section 31PA has .[.a.]. sight window face 34PA. Asillustrated, .[.the.]. arrow 36 and its three vanes 38 could possiblyinterfere with .[.the.]. sight window face 34PA as the arrow passesthrough .[.the.]. center line 35PA. Similarly, when a broad head pointis used on the arrow, it could possibly interfere with the prior-artsight window face 34PA and hence can only be drawn to the back of.[.the.]. handle .[.or riser.]. 30PA.

Central to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, is the provisionof a sight window overdraw offset 40 extending upwardly from .[.theoverdraw offset.]. base 32.[.,.]. and terminating with .[.an overdrawoffset.]. return 41 which rejoins .[.the.]. handle 11 .[.prior to thesight window.]. .Iadd.at the lower end of .Iaddend.face 34 .[.joiningthe upper limb mount 21.]..

Turning now to FIG. 4, .[.it will be seen that above the overdraw offsetreturn 41, the.]. accessory mount area 31 is positioned .Iadd.abovereturn 41 .Iaddend.to receive both .[.the.]. bow sight 24 and/or.[.the.]. bow quiver 26. These are joined to .[.the.]. accessory mount.Iadd.area .Iaddend.31 by .[.the bow.]. quiver bracket 28 and .[.the.].sight bracket 29. .[.The arrow.]. .Iadd.Arrow .Iaddend.rest 25, or 25'which is an alternative construction, .[.are.]. .Iadd.is.Iaddend.secured by means of .[.an arrow rest.]. bracket 42 to theoutside portion of .[.the sight window overdraw.]. offset 40.Conventional mounting means are employed. .[.The arrow.]. .Iadd.Arrow.Iaddend.rest .[.assembly.]. 25 as shown in FIG. 1 is a conventionaltype.[.,.]. and mounts in .[.a.]. recess.[., such as shown as.]. 51.[.in FIG. 5.]. (.Iadd.FIG. 5.Iaddend.), .[.to.]. .Iadd.which can.Iaddend.receive various state of the art arrow rests. The alternativeembodiment arrow rest 25' (FIG. 4) is secured by means of .[.its.].mounting bracket 42' to the same location on the outside of .[.the.]..Iadd.a .Iaddend.sight window overdraw offset 40, as shown in FIG. 4.With alternative embodiment arrow rest 25', as shown in FIG. 4, anextension rod and fingers 44 extend outwardly to cradle .[.the.]. arrow36 along its shaft.[.,.]. and extend sufficiently rearwardly so that.[.the.]. broad head 45 can pass .[.the sight.]. window 30, therebypermitting a shorter arrow to be used in a full drawnconfiguration.[.,.]. and avoiding contact by .[.the broad head.]. blades46 with .[.the.]. .Iadd.a .Iaddend.sight window overdraw offset 40. Thuswhen the shorter arrow is used.Iadd., .Iaddend.it can be .[.ineffect,.]. overdrawn.[.,.]. without an overdraw modification to the bow.Thus .[.the.]. .Iadd.a .Iaddend.shorter arrow can be used .[.with the.]..Iadd.for a .Iaddend.flatter trajectory in hunting configuration, withthe twofold advantage of being able to be overdrawn without an overdrawaccessory.[.,.]. and .[.with provision for.]. the vanes .Iadd.being able.Iaddend.to pass the bow handle .[.or riser.]. without physicalinterference thereby avoiding deflection, friction, and unwantedinstability in flight.

Further details of .[.the subject.]. handle 11 are shown in FIGS. 5 and6. .[.There it will be seen that the face of the riser.]. .Iadd.Front.Iaddend.48 .Iadd.of handle 11 .Iaddend.is .[.opposed by a.]..Iadd.opposite .Iaddend.back .[.of the riser.]. 49. .[.A sight.]..Iadd.Sight.Iaddend./quiver recess 50 is positioned .[.upwardly of theoverdraw offset.]. .Iadd.above .Iaddend.base 32. .[.The arrow restoverdraw recess.]. .Iadd.Recess .Iaddend.51.Iadd., for an overdraw arrowrest, .Iaddend.is .[.opposite the sight window overdraw.]. .Iadd.on theoutside of .Iaddend.offset 40. .[.A rest overdraw bushing.]..Iadd.Bushing .Iaddend.52 is provided in .[.the same.]. .Iadd.anoverdraw arrow rest.Iaddend.. .[.A cable.]. .Iadd.Cable .Iaddend.guardbushing 54 is provide beneath the grip 20. .[.The weight adjustmentlimb.]. .Iadd.Limb .Iaddend.bolt 55 is positioned at the base of.[.the.]. upper limb 12.[.,.]. and is .[.put in in combination with alimb bolt.]. .Iadd.inserted through .Iaddend.washer 56. .[.Thestabilizer.]. .Iadd.Stabilizer .Iaddend.bushing 58 is mounted opposite.[.the.]. cable guard bushing 54 as shown in the lower portion of FIG.6.

.[.The limb.]. .Iadd.Limb .Iaddend.socket .[.area.]. 60 is detailed atthe lower portion of FIG. 6. It includes .[.a.]. butt alignment pad 61,.[.a limb half-round.]. alignment bar 62.[.,.]. and .[.a limb.]. halfround seat 64, all of which receive the preformed end of .[.the.]..Iadd.a .Iaddend.limb.Iadd., secured .Iaddend..[.for securement.]. bymeans of .[.the.]. limb bolt 55 such as shown in the upper portion ofFIG. 6. .[.There is also provided a steel limb bolt threaded.]..Iadd.Threaded .Iaddend.insert 65.Iadd., .Iaddend..[.as.]. shown in thelower portion of FIG. 6.Iadd., receives a limb bolt, not shown.Iaddend..

As set forth above, the entire bow handle .[.or riser.]. 11 can be cast.[.of.]. .Iadd.in .Iaddend.a single casting.[.,.]. and therefore theinherent expense remains essentially the same as the prior-art bowhandle or riser. It can also mount the same accessories as the prior-artbow handle .[.or riser,.]. and provides for an arrow rest which willposition the arrow along the center line of fire for release when thevane rear portion of the arrow passes the arrow rest.
